next time try using sum water crystals added to the soil they will cut ur watering time by 70%.

a trick is to get sum baby diapers tear the linning and take out the crytals. it will take a few but it's worth it. or u can go pay full price at the nursery.

If you can't make the water crystals happen what about lining the bottom of your wholes with sponges(maybe even a Sham WOW) on top of any gravel you may put down for drainage. The only problem I see with that is collecting salts if you are feeding them nutes. But that would be able to hold some extra water down low where you need it anyway. It is alright if the top dries out somewhat, but those bottom roots gotta stay happy!

could just mulch it...... keep roots cooler and hold more water by reducing evaporation... :)

Here are some nice pics from this morning... Went out with my grow partner homie and gave em their usual 10 gallons. Everything is looking marvelous and I'm so stoked to be typing this right now!!!! :weed: We also cut down a couple big snags out in the woods today which was sick. I'll put up some pics of that as well just for the hell of it. I picked up all my bloom stuff a couple days ago so I'm gonna start that after the next watering. Stay high everyone :leaf:

Hey there smokey. I know that water hauling is hard work. And that sure looks like a dry spot you got there but you're taking good care of 'em. Keep an eye out for any spots around there that the weeds are really thriving this summer and it should help you reduce that watering chore planting there. Yeah that and the mulch. Start packing it in or gathering some everytime you go out in a few burlap bags. That will help more than anything. I had a hoot reading all the bear stories between you. Kinda late but gonna scribe to your grow. good luck, slabhead

Ha ha. No we were just cutting those down for fun. They were pretty far away from the spot. It gets a ton of sun anyway:leaf: By the way, both of those trees were dead or just about dead... We were just doing some thinning :-P

Thanks for subscribing! It definitely is quite a bit of work, but I chose this spot in a hurry and I liked it because it gets so much sun... Next time I'll search for something a little better. So far this is working out though, the ladies seem to be very happy :weed: Glad to have you along!
